Updates by Disabled Care Center (DCC)

The project of rehabilitation at Disabled Care Center (DCC) in Yangon keeps on obtaining good results.

L'ASILO DI HONAR E' ORA REALTA'

Sabato scorso, 13 luglio, nel villaggio di Honar si è tenuta una gran festa. Tutto il villaggio era presente all'inaugurazione del nuovo asilo finanziato dalla fondazione Francesca Pecorari Onlus e sostenuto da New Humanity Myanmar e dal comitato dei genitori del villaggio. Grazie al contributo di tutti si è realizzato questo grande sogno che ha cambiato e continuerà a migliorare la vita dei bambini del villaggio. Il nostro staff locale ha supervisionato la costruzione, organizzato i training delle insegnanti e del comitato di gestione e fornirà formazione periodica nei prossimi anni. La popolazione locale, soprattutto i genitori dei bambini che usufruiranno dell'asilo, hanno collaborato nella costruzione, specialmente del campo giochi dell'asilo. Le autorità locali non solo hanno dato il permesso e il loro supporto fin dall'inizio del progetto, ma hanno anche monitorato e supervisionato l'andamento della costruzione e hanno partecipato spendendo parole di lode soddisfazione all'inaugurazione dell'asilo. I bambini dell'asilo, che ha iniziato a funzionare ufficialmente con l'inizio del nuovo anno scolastico a marzo, hanno preparato canti e balli per tutti gli ospiti.
